1 Mental Health Foundation Job Description Communication & Engagement Manager July 2016

2 Dear Applicant We are a leading UK charity in the field of mental health. For 65 years we have been the source of fresh thinking about mental illness, learning disability and wellbeing. We have always drawn on the expertise of professionals and academics, and led the way in recognising the knowledge and insights of people with lived experience of these issues. We were one of the first organisations to talk about public mental health and to promote its importance. The Foundation runs focused research and delivery programmes, aimed at identifying solutions to share more widely. We base our work on evidence. Where evidence is lacking we research, pilot and evaluate fresh approaches. We are discerning and passionate at the same time in our quest for answers and impact. Thanks to the support of our donors, funders and benefactors, we are independent. This gives us the freedom to speak truth to power. We are prepared to take a stand on issues that may be unrecognised or unpopular, wherever we know that the case for change is strong. We believe in the fundamental right to effective healthcare and support for people experiencing mental ill health or learning disability and in their right to be heard and treated without discrimination or stigma in all aspects of their lives. We provide reliable clear information that helps everyone to understand how to support their own mental and emotional well-being; to help the people they care about to do the same; and to take steps as active citizens to ensure that their community and our society achieves wellbeing. Please see the attached information pack for more details and visit our website at Once you have had the opportunity to find out more about us, I hope you will be inspired to join us. I look forward to receiving your application. With best wishes Jenny Edwards CBE Chief Executive

6 In Care Survivors Support Fund The post relates to the provision of a newly defined In Care Survivor Support Fund (ICSSF) and its development and delivery as outlined in the specification. The fund is provided by the Scottish Government to support people who were abused in Scotland while in care as children. Management of the fund is via an alliance that includes Penumbra, Health in Mind, Mental Health Foundation, and Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership supported by a further 26 organisations that provide services for survivors across Scotland. Background The Scottish Government s Survivor Scotland Strategic Outcomes and Priorities policy framework ( sets out a clear vision and commitment to Survivors being supported to have equal access to integrated care, support and treatment resources and services which can reduce the impact of the inequalities and disadvantage experienced as a result of abuse. The framework includes three overarching aims: To raise awareness of the long term consequences of interpersonal childhood abuse. To improve resources and support services for survivors to enhance the health and wellbeing of survivors. To develop a national approach to training and skills across the workforce to enable them to respond to the needs of survivors. Survivors want their support to be person-centred and lifelong with the survivor at the heart of the process. The Fund will enable survivors to forge new links and develop innovative approaches to meet their needs. Support will be person-centred and personal outcomes, rather than service led. What is the purpose of the support fund? Survivors have said that they need services that are designed around their own individual needs, including: counselling, social support, psychological trauma support, housing and benefit advice, as well as enabling access to records, work and education. The In Care Survivor Support Fund will work with survivors and the services that support them to expand and enhance existing survivor support. It will offer survivors personalised care and treatment based on their individual needs, aspirations and personal goals, and provide a full range of services across Scotland, including rural areas. The fund will offer a person-centred, outcomes-based approach that identifies what matters to survivors. This will lead to needs-based assessments and the development of care, support and recovery plans using I.ROC and the HOPE framework. The support fund recognises that survivors' needs are unique to the individual and may include a wider range of outcomes, including: health, social, employment or education needs / goals. The personal outcomes approach puts people at the centre of their own support. How will the support fund work?

7 The fund will provide a bespoke package of care, treatment and support, achieved through the co-ordination of new and existing services, to enable the survivor to achieve their personal outcomes. Through the Support Fund, survivors will be offered support from an appropriately trained and trauma informed personal outcomes support co-ordinator, who will work with the survivor to identify their needs and the personal outcomes they wish to achieve. The support co-ordinator will work with the survivor to develop an individual package of treatment, care and support, which will be provided through the co-ordination of different services that meet the needs of the survivor. An important aspect of the Fund is ensuring the engagement of survivors in its development and delivery.
